Eye surgery

Summary

Eye surgery

Eye surgery, also known as ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye or its adnexa, typically by an ophthalmologist. The eye is a fragile organ, and requires extreme care before, during, and after a surgical procedure. An expert eye surgeon is responsible for selecting the appropriate surgical procedure for the patient, and for taking the necessary safety precautions. Types of eye surgery includes corrective surgery, cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, lid repair surgery, and orbital surgery.
